NEW YORK — Columbia baseball, track & field, heavyweight rowing, and women's rowing are featured in this week's edition of Lions on the Road. Every week, GoColumbiaLions.com will be using "Lions on the Road" to preview that week's upcoming games and events happening off campus.

Baseball

The Lions (18-16) have four games on the slate, beginning with a trip to Long Island to face Stony Brook on Wednesday afternoon to wrap up non-conference play. The Seawolves (20-16) are coming off a three-game sweep of Hofstra. Over the weekend, Columbia will head to Philadelphia for a key three-game set against Penn (17-14) in a battle for first place in the Ivy League standings. Both squads come into the series at 11-4 in conference play with six games to play. Columbia has won five-straight and saw a pair of individuals recognized.
